well, look what the cat drug in...

How in the hell do you screw up a red carpet appearance?  You have people to dress you, to do your make up and hair.  When this is not your first time to the rodeo, I ask...HOW DO YOU SCREW IT UP??

She looked like she wanted to be anywhere but where she was.  Even Guiliana Rancic from E! said, "There is a side door right over on Hollywood Blvd that says exit, ya know, and you can get in that way and just call someone and say, 'can you open the door for me'. You do not have to walk the carpet.  Not every star has to walk the carpet." 

Oh if only she had taken your advice Guiliana.  

Further more, what in the hell happened in the span of three year?  

While walking the red carpet, Kristen did not do any interviews.  None.  However, she did have time to interrupt second time nominated Best Actress Jennifer Lawrence while she was being interviewed.  Coincidence?   I think not.  

The only other person she came close to talking to was Josh Horowitz from MTV.

MTV News correspondent Josh Horowitz reported seeing the Snow White and the Huntsman actress and asking why she needed crutches. "Just exchanged a quick hello with Kristen Stewart. I asked her what happened to her and she screamed 'I'm an idiot!'" Horowitz tweeted.  Source

 She never stopped to talk to him, he never asked her more than that.  I can only imagine how sad he must have felt seeing as he seems to feel they are BFF's and all.

Funny how her "injury" wasn't mentioned during the Oscar rehearsals.  Her outfit sure was though

You can clearly see the right foot is bandaged and she does appear to be walking with a limp.  Is it severe enough to need crutches.  Considering she was wearing two different shoes on the red carpet, something fishy sure was up. You can clearly see in the bag, attached to her crutches, two different shoes.  One peep toe heel and one silver flat.  Now why the hell not just wear the flats if you have a foot injury?

And if your injury is so "severe" why the hell not just stay home?  Oh wait.  There's a dvd that goes on sale the following weekend.  While she was not nominated for anything, "Snow White and the Huntsman" was, Best Costume and Visual Effects.  They lost in both categories.



Bottom line is that this appeared to be a stunt to get her noticed on the red carpet and it worked.  Forget the terrible hair, bags under her eyes, thrown together dress from 2009.  Yes, people had plenty to say about that, but it seemed to be her injury that got the most attention.

 Those that can't be nominated, fake their way through it.

ETA:

Two days later and we see this.  No bandaged foot, no crutches, putting weight on the "severely injured" foot even. It must be a dvd miracle.

The Art of the Pin Up Girl

Gil Elvgren, born Gillette Elvgren, was an American painter of pin-up girls, advertising and illustration. Elvgren was one of the most important pin-up and glamour artists of the twentieth century. Wikipedia

Elvgren was a classical American illustrator. He was a master of portraying the all-American ideal feminine^{[citation needed]}, but he wasn't limited to the calendar pin-up industry. He was strongly influenced by the early "pretty girl" illustrators, such as Charles Dana Gibson, Andrew Loomis, and Howard Chandler Christy. Other influences included the Brandywine School founded by Howard Pyle.^[4]

In 1937, Gil began painting calendar pin-ups for Louis F. Dow, one of America's leading publishing companies, during which time he created about 60 works. Around 1944, Gil was approached by Brown and Bigelow, a firm that still dominates the field in producing calendars and advertising specialties. He was associated with Brown and Bigelow from 1945 to 1972.^[5]

Elvgren was a commercial success. Elvgren lived in various locations, and was active from the 1930s to 1970s. His clients ranged from Brown and Bigelow and Coca-Cola to General Electric and Sealy Mattress Company. In addition, during the 1940s and 1950s he illustrated stories for a host of magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post and Good Housekeeping.^[6]
